Hello, yes, that can be frustrating. And yes, it does have to do with the way reflection is used (or rather, how the request parameters are parsed). The name of an action event method must be: do[A-Z][a-z]+ i.e., one capital letter after do, and then no capital letters. So doSearchuser is fine, doSearchUser is not. >From the javadoc of ActionEvent: Because ParameterParser makes all the key values lowercase, we have to do some work to format the string into a method name. For example, a button name eventSubmit_doDelete gets converted into eventsubmit_dodelete. Thus, we need to form some sort of naming convention so that dodelete can be turned into doDelete. Thus, the convention is this: - The variable name MUST have the prefix "eventSubmit_". - The variable name after the prefix MUST begin with the letters "do". - The first letter after the "do" will be capitalized and the rest will be lowercase If you follow these conventions, then you should be ok with your method naming in your Action class.
